- 1. “Awareness Campaign” by Khaitan Public School 30th Sept’ 10 Khaitan Public School, Sahibabad organized an awareness campaign “Wake Up City” on 30th Sept’10. The students of classes VII to XII, along with the teachers wholeheartedly participated to spread awareness among the people regarding many burning social issues. The centre focus of this campaign was to inculcate basket culture and shun polythene bags, use car pools and bicycles to reduce the emission of CO2, regular disposal of garbage, sapling plantation and reduce noise pollution. The students and teachers were divided into 15 groups of 10 children each and were sent out for 2-3 hours. Different locations were identified which included Shalimar Garden, Dabur Chowk in Vaishali, Mohan Nagar crossing and different sectors of Rajender Nagar, Sahibabad. The students also visited Dilshad Garden Metro station and Shipra Mall, Indirapuram. The students carried pamphlets which they distributed to the residents and gifted saplings when they visited various houses and shops. The students also stopped various vehicles, distributed pamphlets and got the Pledge sheets signed. Polybags were taken away from the passers-by at various crossings and markets and cloth bags were given instead to encourage the “Basket culture” and reduce the use of polybags. A truck was arranged to remove the garbage from some areas in close proximity to the school. The banners were put at various locations to remind the residents of their social responsibilities. The student’s council and few teachers visited the office of the District Magistrate and handed over a letter regarding the campaign. He appreciated the efforts put forth by the children and encouraged them to continue this drive. The Principal of the school, Mrs. Nalini Bahl said “This campaign is a wake up call to the people of the city to be aware of their duties towards the environment. We hope that the Generation next will understand the message of the campaign and will carry our legacy forward.” Khaitan Public School, Sahibabad.
